Well, after much deliberation I actually got my backside down to Racing green and Fernhurst TVR today.
Got my heart set on a Sag but doing so would eat up most of my budget, so started my day with Chris from RG and looked at various options, I think Chris'll have his work cut out getting a car for me as my wish list spec is somewhat limiting. But he found time to take me out for a spin in a Tuscan 2 S, I say spin as that's what the rears were doing for the majority of the drive! Nontheless, it was fun and certainly left me with a smile, thanks Chris.
The suprise of my day however, was the visit to Fernhurst and Simon letting me have a go in the 4.5 Cerb! I only asked to go out just to see what they are like as I'm ideally after one of the 2 seater coupes. Well, I can honestly say I was blown away! Love the noise, the shape and the interior was stunning. For a ten year old car, the dash leather looked new. I can honestly say, if I had gone there with the cash, I would have made an impulse purchase, which shook me a bit as I really did have my sights set on a Sag and the two couldn't be more different. Big thanks to Simon at Fernhurst for his afternoon too.
So this leaves me in a quandry now, 2 seater and keep looking for a Sag or change tact and look for a nice Cerb and spend half my budget?!
Anyone had the pleasure of owning both and care to give their views?

Did you drive the ultra dark blue almost black Cerb? I met the owner of that car at Chatsworth. Its on SOR with them. Its pricey but immaculate condition (except for the purple pipes).

That's the one, looked stunning in that colour. A little taken aback at the price though, as you said, it seems a tad pricey at £25k for a 2000. All the same, it was quite an event driving it!

I know a very nice chap (Neilus) who has a Sag and a Cerb. I'll be seeing him later on today so will ask him to reply.

This guy owns (owned?) the one you test drove.

He had it for a couple of weeks only before being forced into getting rid, previously had a tuscan that he had to return to Fernies due to an oil filling at service issue....
